The vermin in the ditch yell out, and most of them run towards JR. Seeing this from his location farther up, Sahja momentarily loosens his hold on the shield and stands up, staring out in disbelief at his soldiers running into the woods. Thinking they're abandoning the army, he screeches furiously and drops the shield.

Many an eye of the archers from the walltops, including Flynn, spot the wildcat's exposed back, and they all nock arrows to bows, aiming at him. However, a huge boulder, and the last of the boulders, slams into the battlements where the archers are, crushing many of them, sending some flying off the walls, and all in all, causing all archers to drop their bows and take cover.

However, Skipper, who is still down near the side wall of the Abbey, peeking out with an arrow nocked to his own bow, lets fly a shaft which whizzes through the air, heading for the wildcat's head. However, a draft of wind pushes the arrow down, and it skims the top of Sahja's shield, but still manages to find its way into the center of his back.

With an even louder screech, Sahja brings the attention of everybeast to himself as he falls to the ground, and the archers who had gone after JR immediately turn back to retrieve their paralyzed leader.

Skipper lets out a whoop and jumps from behind the wall, a spear in hand as he charges towards Sahja's body, looking to finish the wildcat off. From the walltops, Flynn sees Skipper charging towards Sahja from the direction of the Abbey, and about a score of vermin charging towards the cat from the other side.

"Skip!" He screams a weak warning as he pulls himself up, but he is helpless as Skipper continues onwards. With a heave, Skipper flings the spear at Sahja just as three spears enter his own body, and he stops in his tracks, falling to his knees. His spear flies straight and true, but is blocked by the passing body of a sacrificed rat who was thrown in its path by its vermin comrades.

With disbelief, Flynn looks on as Skipper's body thuds into the ground, and the vermin drag Sahja away, wounded severely but not dead.
